This is the last medal event (and according to the way the rest of the world counts medals, Canada wins the Olympics) -- nm - Roger More Feb 28, 14:44 6
- the rest of the world only counts gold? - jingoist pixie Feb 28, 14:46 5
  - nature's first green is total medals won -- nm - prayformojo Feb 28, 14:50
  - China is considered to have won the Summer Olympics even though we had 10 more medals. Canada had a tremendous second week this year. -- nm - David Feb 28, 14:48 3
    - sure but if they didn't want to count third place, they wouldn't give out bronze medals -- nm - jingoist pixie Feb 28, 14:50 2
      - They don't give out medals to countries, but to athletes. The IOC releases medal tables with the winner of the most gold in first - Roger More Feb 28, 14:56
      - let's call it a tie.:) -- nm - Andie Feb 28, 14:55
overall medal count, yeah. The cross country was the last non-hockey event, IIRC. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 28, 14:44
i don't believe so. but not enough to catch canada for the gold lead either - jingoist pixie Feb 28, 14:44
this is it' -- nm - Andie Feb 28, 14:44
